Hillary Clinton staffs up in Wisconsin

Hillary Clinton is staffing up in Wisconsin.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has hired two longtime operatives to lead her efforts to win over Wisconsin voters.

Jacob Hajdu has been tapped to serve as the general election state director for Hillary for Wisconsin.

He held the same position in Wisconsin during the primary campaign, and worked for Clinton's campaign in Maine and Iowa. Hajdu also previously served as political director and executive director of the Democratic Party Of Wisconsin.

Gillian Drummond has been tapped to serve as the campaign's communications director.

Drummond previously served as Wisconsin press secretary on President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign. She most recently worked to reelect Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.

The Republican Party of Wisconsin responded to the hires by predicting that the former secretary of state still won't be able to earn the trust of voters in the state.

"Wisconsin voters will reject Hillary Clinton and her long history of being a Washington insider — moving from scandal to scandal and leaving the American people vulnerable," said Pat Garrett, spokesman for the state GOP.
